A day after FoxBusiness.com reported that Sen. Mitch McConnell met with 25 Wall Street executives and hedge fund managers, McConnell took to the Senate floor to spout false attacks on Democratic efforts to hold those bankers accountable.

Today the president is hosting a bipartisan, bicameral health care summit at the Blair House in hopes of finding the common ground between Republicans and Democrats. Yet even before the summit had started, Republicans were publicly deriding it as a useless photo-op.

On February 9, 2010, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told reporters that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act "wasn't a job generator." In reality, the Recovery act created up to 1.6 million jobs and kept 6 million Americans out of poverty last year, including an estimated 102,000 in McConnell's home state of Kentucky.

On yesterday's political talk shows, a vast majority of the time was rightly spent discussing the human tragedies following the disastrous earthquake in Haiti. However, the calamity did not stop Sen. Mitch McConnell from further perpetuating the false rightwing talking point that Americans oppose health care reform, or former Bush advisor Karen Hughes from falsely implying the Obama administration wasn't obtaining intelligence from detained terrorists.

On July 14, 2009 Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY) wrote a column criticizing the American Clean Energy and Security Act. In an attempt to disparage the bill, Rep. Davis says it will raise costs and "fundamentally alter the foundation of America's energy and economy." In reality, the American Clean Energy and Security Act would create jobs in every state and help America become more energy independent, all for the price of a postage stamp per day.

On June 29, 2009, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) incorrectly stated that the Supreme Court's ruling in Ricci v. DeStefano is evidence that SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor misapplied the law. In reality, the three-judge panel that previously ruled in Ricci followed binding precedent, while the Supreme Court offered a new interpretation of the law.

In their latest display of political gamesmanship, Senate Republicans are decrying a 48-day period between Judge Sotomayor's nomination and the commencement of her Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings as too short. Yet 48 days was the exact length of time between Judge Roberts' nomination and the start of his committee hearings. Here are the highlights:

In a June 5, 2009 anti-cap-and-trade blog post on GOP.gov, Rep. Geoff Davis cited a 2006 report by the British government titled the "Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change." What Rep. Davis failed to mention, however, was that the report concluded, "the benefits of strong, early action considerably outweigh the costs."

In a June 3, 2009 press release regarding health care reform, Senator Mitch McConnell echoes disproven Republican talking points on "government takeover," banks, and the auto industry bailout, and draws directly on a memo released by GOP pollster Frank Luntz on how to effectively mislead the public on heath care reform. The only thing the press release doesn't include is an original thought.

On April 30, 2009, after killing an amendment that would keep people in their homes, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement claiming the bill would "lead to higher interest rates and even greater uncertainty in the housing and credit markets." In actuality, the amendment simply allowed bankruptcy judges to adjust a struggling homeowner's mortgage payments.

On April 29, 2009, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a press release aimed at rewriting the record of Senate Republicans during President Obama's first 100 days in office. However, McConnell's claim that Republicans are a party of "principled support, principled opposition, and pragmatic, creative solutions" is far from true. In reality, Republicans have offered nothing more than 100 days of political grandstanding.

On April 23, 2009, Live Blog on Gop.gov posted a question from Rep. Ed Whitfield regarding the green jobs created by the proposed government spending. However, neither Rep. Whitfield nor the powers that be at GOP.gov bothered to do a little background check on the issue at hand. If they had, it would have become clear that Rep. Whitfield's question misrepresents the results of a study that was produced by a libertarian think tank that has received funding from Exxon Mobil.
